DIRS

Print Topic  Return to Overview  Previous Topic  Next Topic 
Purpose:Display the current directory stack.

 

Format:DIRS

 

See also:  PUSHD, POPD, @DIRSTACK and Directory Navigation.

 

Usage:

 

The PUSHD command adds the current default drive and directory to the directory stack, a list maintained by TCC. The POPD command removes the top entry of the directory stack and makes that drive and directory the new default. The DIRS command displays the contents of the directory stack, with the most recent entries on top (i.e., the next POPD will retrieve the first entry that DIRS displays).

 

For example, to change directories and then display the directory stack:

 

[c:\] pushd c:\database

[c:\database] pushd d:\wordp\memos

[d:\wordp\memos] dirs

c:\database

c:\

 

The directory stack holds 2048 characters, enough for 40 to 80 typical drive and directory entries.
